Study Notes
Digestive System
- The alimentary canal is divided into the small intestine and large intestine
- Small intestine consists of duodenum, jejunum, and ileum
- Large intestine consists of cecum, colon, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum
- Gastroenterology is the study of the stomach and intestine
- Disorders of the digestive system include gastroenteritis, anorexia, nausea, emesis, diarrhea, and constipation
Respiratory System
- The respiratory system ensures adequate oxygen supply and removal of carbon dioxide
- Pulmonary ventilation refers to the process of breathing
- Breathing mechanism involves inhalation (diaphragm contracts) and exhalation (diaphragm relaxes)
- Types of breathing include eupnea, dyspnea, apneusis, hyperpnea, orthopnea, cheyne-stroke respiration, hyperventilation, apnea, and biot's breathing
- Spirometer is a device used to measure lung function
Circulatory System
- Major blood vessels include circulatory routes
- Fatal alcohol syndrome is a disorder related to the circulatory system
- Disorders of heart structure include pericarditis, myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure
Immune System
- Antibodies are substances produced by the body to destroy specific antigens
- Antigens are macromolecules that trigger the immune system to produce antibodies
- B cells produce antibodies that attack pathogens
- Interferon is a protein produced by the immune system to interfere with viral disease
- T cells produce lymphocytes that attack pathogens directly
- Types of immunity include nonspecific immunity and specific immunity
- Mechanisms of nonspecific defense include mechanical and chemical barriers (skin and mucosa), secretions, inflammation, phagocytosis (neutrophils and macrophages), and natural killer cells
- Types of specific immunity include inherited immunity, acquired immunity, and artificial immunity (active and passive)
